Small leaf, very compact.


Cotoneaster??


I don't remember this having a flower last year - do all cotoneasters
flower?

These seem to be multiplying. Leaf starts out green, quite quickly
becomes variegated and I think ends up with a little white pointed
flower. Invasive?


aggree with Des on Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon'


I'm convinced.

Polygonatum multiflorum, Salomon's seal

?

possibly an Epilobium??

These look like the beginnings of gladioli. There were just a few
isolated ones in the garden last year so I'm wondering how such a
tightly clustered bunch will fare. Will these all flower or will they
die in the crush? Or are they not gladioli?



I would rather think Crocosmia

A lot of patches of this on old walls. Tiny little flower.

again agree with Des on Linaria


Thanks for the others - will refer to my plant guide for details.
